James Butler's article on #GortonAndDenton in #LRB is astute, especially about the strategic folly of the so-called "#LabourParty". A fine read: https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/february/just-voting / https://archive.is/xgwDa
But I was very struck by Butler's comments on the divide in #ReformUK. I assume that the billionaire media which fuels Reform will drive the #cultureWar as far as it can go without splitting Reform until Reform has had power to do phase 1 damage. Then they back the ultras.
Any other thoughts?

@cstross Reminds me of this article of Richard Rorty’s from 2004.
> In a worst-case scenario, historians will someday have to explain why the golden age of Western democracy […] lasted only about two hundred years.

The #LRB pod talks with historian #GregGrandin about the US attack on #Venezuela -- "what the intervention reveals about #Trump’s intentions in the region and his wider foreign policy, and why, as in the past, such adventures will ultimately expose the limits of US power."

🇵🇸 Guerre de Palestine
Connaissance des faits pertinents
Par Selma Dabbagh
🔸 "Selon un sondage du Washington Post, 61 % des Juifs américains considèrent qu’Israël commet des crimes de guerre à Gaza et près de 40 % pensent que sa conduite équivaut à un génocide."

David Renton on Palestine Action, protest and freedom of speech - and the creeping authoritarianism in Britain. (More likely *England* - but the terrorism laws coming out of Westminster also affect Scotland.)
